Shorthand - Typewriting Tel
egraphy.
Hardly an Office of any Importance in
the country now is without shorthand
typewriter-usually young lady-cOn-
stantly employed. The services of this
person are considered iEdispensa-
bic to the business of a large
mercantile house. And there is good
reason to so consider them: for the ay-
erage wholesale merchant, banker and
broker is all extremely busy man, with
10000 things to think of at once, and to
write two pages of a letter is absolute
torture to him. The discreet young
woman who sits patiently beside
him with pencil and paper, and
gets his ideas into shape fit for inSpec-
ton, while he wrinkles his brow and
tries to collect his scattered thoughts,
is an angel of relief at such a time.
Then. perhaps, her cool judgment may
assist him by timely suggestion.
The matter finished, and the dicta-
ton made to his satisfaction, he may
forget all about thread his paper or look
after other matters. 1t is possible that
there are firms of the old school in StPaul
whose transactions Ill year amount to
vantages of a shorthand typewriter; but
they are growing fewer every day. At
303 Jackson street, st. Paul. is an in
stitution which has become known
throughout the Northwest for the ex-
pert shorthand and typewriters who
have had their training here, and are
now filling positions of honor and
trust in courts, banks, jobbing houses,
real estate and brokers' offices, manu-
featuring establishments: as city, coun-
ty and state officials assistants, and va
rious other places equally respectable.
This is the St. Paul College of Short
hand, Typewriting and Telegraphy,
founded and conducted by Anna
c. Drew. 1t is not difficult to solve
the problem of Mrs. Drew's success.
Having a thorough knowledge of human
nature as well as the arts she teaches,
and having always conscientious re-
gard for the interests of employers to
whom graduates are recommended, the
college has gained reputation among
business men for reliability; and this
makes it an easy matter for graduate
to secure a situation at d
fair salary. Indeed, Mrs. Drew's pupils
are in constant demand. Young men
sometimes attain proficiency in few
weeks, and are competent to fill posi-
tons as operators in telegraph offices,
or take charge of correspondence
in business houses. Several
months, however, are generally
required to perfect pupil in any of the
branches, it being one of the ideas of
the principal that thorough training
is more desirable than quick one The
expense of learning is very light. A
complete course in either teleg-
raphy or shorthand, time not
limited. costs but $50. Three
months is allowed in which to learn
typewriting. at a cost of S25: and if the
pupil wishes instruction by mail the ex-
pense is SO. Shorthand can be taught
by mail for S25. This would be good
Investment for young man or lady in
the country. as the long winter evenings
could be very proftably employed in
learning the art.
The three departments are in imme-
diate charge of competent, careful in
structors. Every possible effort is
made to bring the pupils up to a high
degree of proficiency, with what success
the world knows. Foreigners are
taught American ways of doing
business, make rapid progress and in
variably obtained good positions. But
this article might be extended indefi-
nitely in praise of the college and Mrs.
Drew's excellent management.
The new catalogue for 1888 will be the
handsomest thing of the kind by far
that has ever been published in the
Northwest.
